The Colombian international has been disappointing since joining the Red Devils on a season-long loan deal from AS Monaco, and now looks set to return to the Ligue 1 side.

It remains to be seen who United will look to bring in in his place, but big names such as Edinson Cavani and Karim Benzema have previously been mentioned as options.

United spent big on several new signings this summer and could do so again to replace Falcao, who is only on the bench for today’s game against Liverpool, with youngster James Wilson preferred upfront.
